Funny this topic should come up.  I just built a wall hanging saw till
(rack) for my small saws (back saws, dovetail saw and gent saw) last week.
What I built was just a simple rack that was very heavily inspired by Stan
Faullin's rack (previously mentioned), just on a smaller scale.  Right now I
only have two regular size hand saws (the larger ones) so they are still
hanging on a nail.  As I accumulate more of these larger ones, I will
probably build a second rack for them.

In addation to the saw rack, I am currently in the process of building some
other 'racks' for my hand tools as well.  One is a chisel rack.  I got the
inspiration for this one from the latest issue of American Woodworker, which
arrived in the mail earlier this week.  In case some of you have not seen
this, it has some pretty good suggestions for shop storage - even some for
Galootish type tools.

The Second is a Spokeshave rack.  This one was pretty much of my own design.
I basically looks like a miniature gun rack.  I guess the inspiration for
this one was that rifle rack I built back in High School shop class (guess
it would be pretty politically incorrect to do this as a high school project
these days.)

I also liked the rack in American Woodworker for layout tools - squares and
rules and such.  Maybe one of these days, I will build a variant of that as
well.
